Clarification EEA Family permit for new EU members

Post by tepipp » Sat Feb 05, 2005 8:28 pm

Hello,

Currently we live outside the UK. I hold a Slovak citizenship recently added into the EU. My husband is not a EU citizen. We would like to move over the UK.

My questions are:
Can my husband get the EEA family permit prior to arrival into the UK, and work once we are there?

Could we get his EEA family permit prior of my 'Worker Registration Scheme' application?

Do I really need to have the "Residence Permit" in order to apply for his EEA family permit?

I have read the information posted in the Home Office, but still unclear and confuse when they talk about the "right of residence" vs "residence permit".

http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en ... onals.html

Based on the above link:

>You have a right of residence in the United Kingdom if you are an >EEA >national and:
>
> * you are working in the United Kingdom; or
> * you do not work in the United Kingdom but you have enough money > to support yourself throughout your stay without help from public > > >funds.


>We will not give your family an EEA family permit, residence document or >family member residence stamp if you do not have a right of residence in >the United Kingdom.

But also to get a "Residence Permit" I need to work in the UK at least 12 months.

Could you clarify the differences between "right of residence" and
"Residence Permit"? are they the same?

Based on the above information, I guees so far I have the right of residence only, which could be enough to apply for the EEA family permit... is that right?

thank you for all your help.
